Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 apples makes 2 cups, we can assume that 6 apples make 1 cup.

Take the number of apples and divide it by 6 in order to find out the number of cups that can be made.

The average income, I, in dollars, of a lawyer with an age of x years is modeled with the following function: I = -425x^2 + 45,5

lord [1]

We are given

The average income, I, in dollars is

$I=-425x^2+45500x-650000$

(a)

now, we are given

average income is $275000

so, $I=275000$

now, we can set them equal

and then we can solve for x

$275000=-425x^2+45500x-650000$

$-425x^2+45500x-925000=0$

we will have to use quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-45500+\sqrt{45500^2-4\left(-425\right)\left(-925000\right)}}{2\left(-425\right)}:\quad \frac{-\sqrt{45500^2-1572500000}+45500}{850}$

$x=\frac{-45500-\sqrt{45500^2-4\left(-425\right)\left(-925000\right)}}{2\left(-425\right)}:\quad \frac{\sqrt{45500^2-1572500000}+45500}{850}$

we get

$x=27.28199$

$x=79.776$

we need to find youngest age

It means that we need to choose smallest value

so,

$x=27$ ............Answer

(b)

we are given

x=40

so, we can plug it and find I

$I=-425(40)^2+45500(40)-650000$

$I=490000$ ..............Answer

4x = 630

x = 157.5

S = 720

If the ratio of the measure of the complement of an angle to the measure of its supplement is 1:3, find the measure of the angle

prohojiy [21]

Set up and solve an equation:

3(90-x) = (180-x). Then 270 - 3x = 180 - x, or 270 - 180 = 2x.
90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.

Is this true? 3(90-45) = (180-45)? If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.
